About this year’s priority neighbourhoods project

The 2025-26 priority neighbourhoods programme is focussing on seven areas in Trowbridge, including Charlotte Square, Ashmead, College, Seymour, Longfield, Paxcroft Mead and Hilperton.

Together with customers and local partners, we’re hosting a range of community days, events and activities aimed at bringing people together and making meaningful, long-term improvements to the area.

 

What’s been done so far?

‘Love Your Garden’ competition

Launched in the spring of 2025 in partnership with Trowbridge Garden Centre, the competition encouraged customers in the seven Trowbridge neighbourhoods to take pride in their green spaces, enjoy the outdoors, and showcase their gardening creativity. Customers submitted before and after photos of their garden transformations, along with a short story about their project. Seven winners were selected to win a £100 voucher to spend at Trowbridge Garden Centre with winners announced in October 2025. Thank you to all customers who took part for helping to make our neighbourhoods greener and brighter places to live.

Fun Day at Charlotte Square

In August, we held a fun day for families living in Charlotte Square. As well as being a fun family day out with games and bouncy castles, the event was an opportunity to meet with residents to find out more about what they think of their neighbourhood and what they would like to improve.

Afternoon tea party at The Homestead in Trowbridge

Longfield Food Bank

Priority neighbourhoods project teams spent time at Longfield Food Bank, helping to distribute food and engaging with the local community.

Large item clearance

With support from our caretaking teams, we supported residents by helping to clear and dispose of unwanted large items, that may otherwise be left outside.
